Staffel 1

  1. FOLGE 1

    Part One: The Mad Doctor

    John Harvey Kellogg was a walking contradiction. A religious fanatic and a man of science. A racist and a philanthropist. A man so obsessed with wellness, he paid no mind to how many died in his care, so long as it furthered his studies. A health fanatic with a creative mind, Dr. Kellogg invented machines designed for treatment that were better suited for a medieval torture chamber. But just how did a promising young prodigy become America's most infamous mad doctor? Find out in part one of The Cereal Killer Chronicles, The Mad Doctor.

    Part Two: The Sanitarium

    At the age of 24, Dr. Kellogg took over as director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, also known as "The San."

    Part Three: Things We Lost in the Fire

    When Dr. Kellogg stole the Battle Creek Sanitarium out from under Mother White and the Seventh Day Adventist Church, the scorned prophet swore there would be hell to pay. Soon after, hell on earth visited Battle Creek in the form of a series of suspicious fires known as "The West End Fires." Buildings burned, fortunes were lost, and a war was waged as the body count piled up.

    Part Four: The Cereal King

    Throughout Dr. Kellogg's rise to fame and the success of his sanitarium, one man stood in the shadows doing much of the work but getting none of the credit- his younger brother Will. When Will took one of the doctor's discarded projects and turned it into a multi-million dollar empire, their bitter sibling rivalry turned deadly. The brothers spent decades battling over the family name and the throne to the cereal kingdom. In the end, it cost them both much more than money.

But before January's end, the Goddards' dreams were shattered when Ricky was found murdered in the family home.
